I'm looking at one of these rifles for hunting and just for fun long range. They each have qualities I like and don't like. The Predator has a lighter barrel (almost too light though) and decent action but crappy stock, while the Hunter has a nice stock and action but the barrel almost seems too heavy (the gun is like 9.3lbs) and the Savage has a good barrel config and nicer stock, but I haven't always been the biggest fan of their actions.
Ideally I'd take the Magpul stock, Ruger action and Savage barrel but obviously I can't do this at my budget to build a custom build. Overall I guess I am leaning towards the Savage but not sure about the action overall. If I had to take a second choice I'd go with the cheaper Ruger Predator and wait for the Oryx chassis to come into stock.
Any words of wisdom that might help out? Thanks!
